I'm not sure this is the Ronnie Rogers that was in our class. I lived on Skyview Dr. & our family was friends with Ron's family in the late 1940s & early 50s. His parent's names were Bud & Judy. Ron had 2 siblings, Sue was older & Scott(I think that was his name) was younger. I think Sue was kickline director in high school before they moved to Indianapolis. As I remember, Ron's dad had a job transfer. Ron was in our class thru Jr. High or beginning high school. Does anyone know where the obituary info came from? The names given for his parents are different. Just wondering...

Art,
When I was searching for people to notify of our 50th anniversary, I had identified a Ronnie Lee Rogers, who passed away in 2007, as our Ronnie Rogers. But, Janice’s comment questioning that, gave me some valuable clues. Brenda found out from the Class of 1961 that Sue "Suzie" Ann Rogers was now Sue "Suzie" Ann Rogers Stella and living in Peoria, Illinois. I called her, and she gave me the address for her brother Ronald Colton Rogers in Lexington, Kentucky, who was still living. And, who did fill out his classmate profile and post pictures.
Therefore, at this point, Janice’s comment is out of context in the In Memory section, and may be misleading, because she was commenting about Ronnie Lee Rogers, while describing Ronnie Colton Rogers.
